There are some good reasons to visit TidalWalk, and it turns out we just thought of one more!

It’s springtime, when love is in the air. The warmer weather means we start thinking about the beach, anticipating all the fun in the months ahead. Now is an especially good time to come visit the TidalWalk community, and find your place in the sun. Arrive between April 5th through 9th, and you’ll be here just in time for the 70th Annual North Carolina Azalea Festival.

When you live at TidalWalk, all of Wilmington awaits, including the Azalea Festival.

“The TidalWalk lifestyle means so many things to so many of our residents,” says Jennifer Summers, Sales Associate. “It’s luxury, the pristine natural environment, quiet moments and intimate friendships. And Wilmington is just moments away, so when an event as big as the Azalea Festival happens, everyone will be there.”

What is the Azalea Festival all about? It’s “A Scene to be Seen,” as their official motto goes. Yes, the showy springtime blooms are the start of this show, but they are not the only reason to attend. The event attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors and residents, and features a two-day Street Fair, the Festival Parade, musical concerts featuring big name acts (The Temptations and Duran Duran, to mention a few), home and garden tours, an art show, 5K and 10K runs, fireworks, and this year, the Riverwalk Shag Contest!

And if you don’t know what “shagging” is, we’re not going to tell you. You’ll just have to come see for yourself.

Wouldn’t it be great to live at the beach?

If you’re in town for the Azalea Festival, make the short drive to TidalWalk and it will be easy to imagine how great life can be. “A lot of people live here year-round,” explains Jennifer, “while others make TidalWalk their “go to” getaway throughout the year.” Owning a home or townhome in this premier master planned gated community gives you access to the boat docks, fishing pier, club house, walk-in saltwater pool, beach, private island and many other amenities.

Once you see TidalWalk, you’ll want to stay. And it’s as easy as contacting Jennifer at TidalWalk.com or [email protected]
